Freekles (J. Becherer 1941) M. 32”. 
This seedling is a worthy introduction from a sincere and enthusiastic iris devotee, a newcomer to the 
hybridizer’s ranks. The old iris King Karl enjoyed great popularity and we feel sure that the people who 
liked King Karl will appreciate Freckles. It reduplicates the manner and informality of this old variety’s 
colorings closer than any other yellow plicata. 
Freckles has rich tone of cream-yellow for a background, covered with small fleckings of light chocolate 
brown. So dexterously and delicately are the slender markings applied the flower has more buoyant charm 
and delicacy of embellishment than enjoyed by other yellow plicatas. A blithely colored flower. It is well 
branched on 32” stalks, hardy, well substanced flowers. Price, each $10.00 
Platinum Beauty (Schreiner 1941) L. 36”. 
This entrancing delicate pastel blend can be most easily visualized as a vast improvement over the 
coloring of old iris Candlelight with its soft center glow. A delicate combination of lilac pink with the 
softest blendings of lemon yellow especially concentrated toward the heart of the flower. Throughout the 
flower a sparkling, silvery sheen mingles with gold giving the flower the effect of having a sprinkling of 
star dust. 
Because we withheld introduction several years to make comparisons we now have a substantial stock. 
We believe that this iris is superior to most other very light, delicate blends and in order to give this iris 
immediate and comprehensive distribution we are offering to send it complimentary with every order to- 
talling $5.00. This will be sent only when it is specifically requested. Will be priced in 1942 catalog.

Salmon Splendor (Lapham 1941) EM. 30’. ; 
One of the most reliable massing iris to come to our attention. Some iris are noteworthy as iris for 
exhibition or display purposes. Others are more adapted to use in the garden. 
An extra prolific flowering variety, a single rhizome often sends up two or three bloom stalks per 
rhizome. The average-height stalks are extra sturdy, withstanding the heaviest winds. One of the most 
pleasing notes in the garden is an entrancing clump of Noweta. Salmon Splendor is an improvement on this 
luscious variety retaining all its charm and freshness while the flowers are larger and the color a shade of 
salmon with just a pink underglow possessing tremendous color appeal. Its growth habits rank it as a 
fine garden iris. Price, each $7.50 
Coquetry (Schreiner 1941) E. 20”. 
An easy-to-grow Oncocyclus hybrid. About three-fourths the size of Wm. Mohr, it has more delicate 
dottings and markings and these colorings are on a purer white background. The standards are light blue 
in effect while the falls are delicately pinkish. It is larger and can be visualized as an improved Some Love 
and for us up north it has the happy faculty of being an easy grower. The flower is daintily ruffled. It 
arises from a cross of the Oncocyclus hybrid Sy/phyde, itself a hybrid of (Gatesii x Lortetii), crossed with 
the bearded variety Midwest. The flower stalk has two branches, unusual for a pogo-cyclus. A closeup 
bloom is pictured on page 23. Price, each $7.50 
Black Hawk (Schreiner 1941) E. 28”. 
This is the darkest black iris we have grown to date. In color it is the richest velvety blackish purple 
It is an Intermediate but compared to the tall bearded kinds it is richer and darker than Ethiop Queen or 
Sable. Practically a self, the extra rich plush-like falls give it a slight bicolor effect. A stunning combi- 
nation planted with rich yellow iris or pastel tulips. Price, each $5.00 
Ruby Glow (Schreiner 1941) E. 26”. 
In our opinion the richest, glossiest ruby Intermediate. Surpasses Red Orchid and others of similar 
color in size and brilliancy. Contrasted with the rich velvety self color we have a brilliant orange beard. 
The richest and reddest of the varieties of this color range. Price, each $5.00
